Is this a PH3300U-1I72 as the description says or is the actual drive marked as a DT01ACA300 as one reviewer just stated 2/28/14????

both. the smart data in the drive identifies it as: TOSHIBA DT01ACA3. the retail box it shipped in says P/N PH3300U - 1|72.

I don't know what the hardware difference supposed to be. I bought 4 PH3300U: 3 from MicroCenter (1.5 years ago) and 1 from Amazon (4 months ago). All had DT01ACA300 inside.I was curious and checked them both. Here is the difference I found. PH3300U has 3 years warranty, and DT01ACA300 has two year warranty. So, I think it is just warranty difference. Amazon is charging $15 more for one more year of warranty for PH3300U @$115. If I knew about this, I would buy DT01ACA300 for $100 and buy extra 2 year Amazon warranty for $6.53 coming out ahead.

It is genuine. All drives will show reduce size due to the method used when formatting. It has to do with the 1046k of unformated drive to make 1000k when formatted.

The 500GB version is most definitely compatible with the 8300HD, or at least was. I have been using one for well over two years, but just in the past couple of weeks it pops up a "disconnect" message at random. I just hit the cancel / exit button and it keeps playing just fine save for the error message popping up every 15-20 minutes or so. I suspect Comcast has pushed some sort of firmware update to the cable box which is causing this problem because the drive itself seems to be spinning just fine with no strange grinding or clicking noises and the data seems to be intact. I am planning on buying the 1TB version so I'm reading through these reviews to see a success story.

Hmm... I personally don't know this either (I too would like to know -- in case anyone has tested it out). However, the product picture show the "SERIAL ATA" logo with "1.5Gb/s" below it -- making me believe it is not SATA 3Gb/s or SATA 6Gb/s. I am looking for one that supports 3Gb/s.

This external hard drive contains a SATA-2 5400 rpm hard drive with a 8mb buffer.I would tell you the model number but it gets deleted when I post it.I would tell you how I know for sure but that gets deleted also.So in other words you just need to use your noodle and seek out the info you need; there are ways but this will probably get deleted to so what's the point in all of this?PS I Bought this thing and I have hands on experience with it!

I have purchased two of the 750gb drives via Amazon.com (Amazon.com was the direct seller, not a 3rd party seller) and they were both new/sealed. And unless you already know this; I have been told from a Amazon customer service agent (live phone call) that unless the Amazon product page says refurb, then the item is brand new; Amazon "direct sold" items are always supposed to be new. This of course does not have anything to do if you are looking at items sold from one of amazon's many 3rd party sellers.

Hi it's a bit confusing, and hard to figure out who you are ordering from on these drives. Did not buy mine from Oceanside. Might want to look at similar drives from Fry's. They have the full warranty.

How do find out if the BD-P1400 is a 1.0 or 1.1, I was looking at the tech stuff and don't seem to find it anywhere?

Yep, exactly what it is, a refurbish. These drives normally come with a one year warranty, so 180 days shows a rework. The price should determine if you should take a chance with it. Good luck

Google it...it's just a slow 1 terabyte hard drive produced by Western Digital...you can buy from Amazon or Newegg

Does anyone know what firmware this drive ships with. The info from amazon does not list this. The first .02 one I think users mention freeze. The .06 one fixes some problems and the .09 fixes most.Amazon needs to present the firmware of drives with so many manufacures shipping bad drives these days.

It's a typo on Amazon. The drive is SATA III. Hardly any drive are SATA III anymore. Click here -&gt; http://www.wdc.com/global/products/specs/?driveID=1049&language=1

All the drives I received are model WD20EARS-00MVWB0. So far they work great. I am running them in SansDigital TR8M(-B)P in JBOD configuration. So far zero problems, I will probably pickup 5 more to get a total of 16TB.

If the C drive came before the B one, then why does Amazon marked the C one as "the newer model"?**so...the software of both are the same. i should buy the the B one (THIS one), right?
